  1. Re:In the realm of Video games, Nintendo INVENTED on Wii Hardware To Be Profitable At Launch · · Score: 1

    Razor blades are expensive but I don't think Gillette makes a loss on the razor, that's why they make new ones all the time in different colours (and ones that vibrate!) The Gamecube's discs were also rather tough to copy, I've had anyone try to sell me pirated Gamecube games, PS2 and XBox DVD-Rs can be easily found at many market/carboot sale

  2. Re:nintendo is a game company on Wii Hardware To Be Profitable At Launch · · Score: 1

    That assumes that Nintendo sell enough units to break even on their development costs. But you're right, it allowed them to stay in the game whilst Sega was out priced by Sony just as Microsoft is trying to do to Sony.

  3. Re:Here's what Apple needs to do... on Music Industry Threatens to Pull Plug on Apple · · Score: 1

    If iTMS has no content then all Apple need to do is license playforsure and update their iPods and iTunes and make a deal with a 3rd party music store to sell music in iTunes, sure they will have lost the iTMS business but people would keep buying iPods.

  4. Re:Let's get the instruments in space on NASA Takes Step Forward In Planet Finding · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's about 36,660 per kilogram for those in the rest of Europe or about 5,700,000 Nairas per kilo if your name is Prince Joe Eboh and you need help getting your millions of dollars out of nigeria so that you can use it to put big telescopes in space.

  5. Re:I'm not sure now on Opera Reaches 1 Million Downloads Thanks To Google · · Score: 1
    Uh...man... I really think Kant wrote...

    "Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and awe - the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me."

    In any case Einstein was probably paraphrasing and it seems to have been attributed to him.
  6. Re:Mighty Panel on Why the Rokr Phone Is An Important Failure · · Score: 1

    I do this every day with my motorola A1000. Hitting the right bit of the screen can be done semi-blind after a little use and you can set the virtual keypad to haptics mode so it gives out a little vibration after every number is pressed. With an iPod phone you could put a home key style nipple in the middle of the wheel where the 5 key should be so you could centre your finger.

  7. Re:Recurring revenue, too... on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    IIRC a large chunk of Blockbuster is owned by Viacom and my movie channels on cable are owned by Fox (SkyMovies).
